According to Ed Tait, Tim Burke and Casey Creehan are likely to end up in Toronto to replace loss of Chris Jones. Craig Dickenson likely to end up in Edmonton. Bombers leading HC candidate is now rumored to be Mike O'Shea with Khari Jones as OC.

How does Creehan keep finding work in a 9 team league? He's going to eventually run out of teams.

Creehans a great positional coach IMO. But I don't think he'll be a DC again for a long time. He seems to just hitch his wagon to Burke and follow him around everywhere.

 

I would have preferred to keep Burke on as DC, but if he leaves he leaves. It doesn't bother me to much. Wonder who O'Shea would hire as DC now. Wouldn't mind Kavis Reed. Experianced, I thought the defence in 2010 was pretty darn good.

We save $ then correct? I know we owe Burke for 2014 but if he coaches another club we only pay the difference correct?

same here, I want Burke to stay as DC but if he leaves he leaves. if O'Shea becomes the HC i got a feeling he will give Stubler a call to be a DC/Asst HC.

Creehan following Burke makes sense, they don't have a LB coach in Toronto.

 

If O'Shea is the man, I wonder who they'd poach. You know what I'd love to see? O'Shea bring Maas with him and give him a promotion to QBC

O'Shea with Stubler as a DC, Maas as a QBC and whoever as OC could be good.

Pains me to say but I'm of the "Anybody But Khari Camp." 

 

I don't want to see a good, smart guy get beat up and broken. 

It's funny that the HC isn't even hired, yet we seem to "know" all the positional coaches already.  LOL

Best idea I've read this morning.  Maas would be a fantastic QBC.  Worked with Ray for a lot of years, would have a ton of knowledge to pick.

 

I like Dickenson and would be disappointed to see him go, but a clean sweep of the coaching staff could change our team's culture.

who then will be our ST Coordinator?

Best suggestions I've heard yet (given that we're keeping Walters as GM) are this:

AGM: McManus
DPP: Worman

HC: O'Shea
DC/Asst: Stubler
OC: Khari
QBC: Maas

So should this come to fruition (and I'm not saying it will, by any stretch), who fills out our coaching staff? Do we keep Howell because he's got the Winnipeg connection AND played with Khari for several seasons? What good Oline or Dline coaches are available? LB coach? RB coach?

And of course, STC?

If you

 

who then will be our ST Coordinator?

If you believe him, this guy can do just about anything.

How about Troy Westwood for STC?

I'd rather employ a goat.

Not a baaaaad idea.

Maybe you could convince Bobby Dyce to come back to be ST coordinator. Give him some extra responsibility in helping Walters with the draft.

Noel Prefontaine as STC? He and O'Shea are said to be formulating ST schemes and tricks for the Argos before, even when they are still playing together.

 

 

Another candidate STC is Bob Dyce but will he do a lateral move?

only to become AGM after being a poor STC for a couple years... and then GM a year later!

Do we keep Howell because he's got the Winnipeg connection AND played with Khari for several seasons?

given how we've seen receivers get worse after spending time in Winnipeg no. I like Howell but it seems pretty clear that as a receivers coach he's just not teaching these guys what they need to know. 

Give me O'Shea at HC, Khari at OC, Stubler at DC and Maas for the QBs and I would be so stoked.

 

Very small odds of that happening.

rumors from the Esks camp, if Chris Jones will become the HC, he might bring Maas as OC.

Is Stubler actually available? Why would he be leaving BC?

If O'Shea gets the HC job, what are the chances Steinauer leaves Hamilton to be our DC? And if he does, is that a good thing? (Admittedly, I don't know much about Hamilton's D. I know they were better this year than last. I also know last year some insane percentage of OPOTW awards went to guys playing Hamilton, so improvement was inevitable)

yeah exactly - where is all of this Stubler stuff coming from?  Why would he ever leave BC to move to Winnipeg?
